This is the last issue of Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide
to be fully designed and managed by Emily Pugh. Emily has been
with Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide since its foundation
eleven years ago. It is no exaggeration to say that without her
the journal might never have come to pass. She designed it from
scratch and has continued to nurture it, aesthetically as well
as technologically, to the present day. Her enthusiasm, skill,
reliability, and patience have been invaluable to the journal,
and we’ll miss her tremendously.
There are some bright points. First of all, we have found a wonderful
successor to Emily. Starting with the spring issue, Allan McLeod,
art historian, artist, and web designer, residing in the UK,
will be NCAW’s webmaster. In addition, Emily will remain involved
with NCAW, as co-coordinator of the Mellon grant and designer
of the digital humanities articles published under its auspices.
So, we won’t lose her altogether, and, of course, we’ll never
lose her as a friend.
Unfortunately, due to special circumstances, this issue will
not have a Mellon-funded article but we’ll be back with a special
treat in the spring.
